#MountainDreamTarot

[harvardfineartslib]

 “The Mountain Dream Tarot came to me in a dream in the summer of 1970. The decision to assemble a photographic set of cards was made in my sleep. I began the next morning at Penland School in North Carolina. I chose models who suited the cards and after reading the card's description we took a walk to find the right place to make the picture ... I based my imagery on the classic Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Waite. My cards are an intuitive, not a literal interpretation of the deck.” – Bea Nettles from the original 1975 introduction.

Bea Nettles (b. 1946) is a photographer and writer known for experimenting with alternative photographic processes. In 1975, Nettles created a set of monochrome photographic tarot cards to foretell the future. The Fine Arts Library owns the third edition of these tarot cards. You can request this set and other tarot card decks in the Special Collections Study Room!

WEATHER REPORT - THREE OF SWORDS. Let's focus on kindness today. There are a whole bunch of hurts in the world, big and small, and we can't always prevent ourselves or others from feeling pain. It's a part of life, and acceptance is more helpful than trying to prevent or avoid all painful experiences or feelings. Ain't gonna happen! What we can do, though, is help with healing. Today, be gentle with yourself, and with the people around you. Replace an angry thought or word with a kind one. Forgive someone. Forgive yourself. Tread lightly through your day, and try to help someone else do the same. Let's help each other to release those swords and move on! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - QUEEN OF CUPS. Today we are invited to be a gentle nurturer, to ourselves and to others. The Queen of Cups always senses what is going on under the surface, and uses her powers accordingly. Borrow some of that intuitive wisdom, and use it to listen to yourself and the people around you. How are you feeling? What do you really need right now? What is your friend leaving unsaid? How can you lighten your colleague's load, or make a stranger stop and smile? You can tune into all of this today! Use your intuition to nurture your connections and relationships, and your own inner world. #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - FIVE OF WANDS. We're challenged to strike a fine balance in our interactions today. The Five of Wands is both an invitation to engage with others, and a warning that those engagements have the potential to go a little too far! Today, get your game face on, but don't forget to bring yourself sense of humour as well. Whether you're working along side people, or directly competing with them, keep a sense of playfulness in your interactions. No one likes a sore loser, or a bad winner, so be gracious and keep the energy light, and we'll all make it out unscathed! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam
